So, I thought I was eating healthy… salads, fruits, veggies, grilled chicken, turkey burgers… Yup, how exciting is my life? Honestly, I love eating salads and vegetables, especially when someone else washes, chops, slices, and prepares them for me. Regardless of how healthy I ate, I still had an issue with weight, specifically below my belly button. Blame it on menopause or old age (ugh!), whatever the reason, I couldn’t shake the meno-momy belly… yikes!
Then, a friend of mine sent a link to an interview featuring this super intelligent, female doctor, Casey Means. She was discussing mitochondria, cellular energy, and… how most of the chronic diseases us Americans think are our destiny… are NOT. Wait, what? Casey, you have my attention. I ordered her book, Good Energy, immediately and dove in. Within the first 15 pages, Casey brought me back to high school biology and I experienced a major AH HAH moment. God created our bodies like an amazing city that is interconnected at a divine level (my words, not Casey’s). Did you know we have 37 TRILLION cells? Do you recall that each cell contains mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) that uses food energy and turns it into cellular energy called ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)? Blah, blah, blah, Hope… tell me something I don’t know. I remember this from bio class. What’s your point?
My point is simple… if we are feeding our 37 trillion cells crap, we are going to feel like crap. And… come to find out, if we aren’t eating organic, grass-fed, clean food, we are feeding our bodies crap. It’s that simple. The toxic stuff that is in our ultra processed food is causing our bodies to be in a constant state of dysfunction and illness… inflammation, insulin insensitivity, oxidative stress… you name it. Our SICK food supply is causing us to BE SICK: diabetes, heart disease, dementia, gout, arthritis… all the “itises”. If you have an “itis”, it is just about guaranteed to be rooted in bad energy. What makes matters worse… our health system doesn’t tell you to eat better (because nutrition is not evidenced-based and doctors average only 21 hours of nutritional education… can you believe that?), it gives you a pill instead. A pill that is guaranteed to have side effects that may result in a side effect that you will need another pill for. Can you say bad energy? That’s why I call our health system ill care, NOT health care. They are keeping us ill to keep us coming back for more pills. It’s criminal. Kind of reminds me of The Sixth Sense movie when the stepmother slowly poisoned one child to death and then set her sights on the younger stepdaughter. Yes, our current food supply and health system is slowly poisoning us with bad energy. It’s not criminal… it’s beyond criminal.
Think about this… an average apple today has 40% LESS nutrition than an apple 75 years ago. If I was eating an apple when I read that fact, I probably would have choked on it. There’s so much information packed into Casey’s book, too much to share in a few pages. Here’s the biggest takeaway from Good Energy… I think of my food as either good or bad energy. Organic apple… good. Fast food salads… bad. Locally grown vegetables and fruits… good. Mass produced, non-organic vegetables… bad. Grass fed beef… good. Burger King beef… bad (duh!). Homemade yogurt… good. Store brand yogurt… bad. You get the point.
With Casey’s Good Energy, I have found HOPE. I look at food from a completely different perspective. Even food I was addicted to, I don’t crave anymore. This transformative mindset has transformed my profile by almost 15 pounds and my bloodwork is comparable to a college athlete (my doctor’s words, not mine). Each time I contemplate what to eat, I think about whether it will bring good energy or bad energy to my eye, ear, brain, heart, skin, liver cells… my 37 trillion cells. Think about it… we will not put compromised gas into our cars, but we have no issue with putting chemicals into our cells. It’s madness. And then we wonder why we are on high blood pressure medication, have sleep apnea, can’t fit into our favorite jeans, feel depressed, and are starting to forget important pieces of information about our lives.
Soon, I will turn 53, and I feel 33. I am not kidding. The good energy I feed my divinely designed cells causes me to have so much more energy to live life to the fullest. Casey’s book gave me HOPE and has inspired me to learn so many new things. Now, I make my own coffee creamer, yogurt, protein bars (they taste like peanut butter cups, no lie!), and even mayo… yes, mayo! I am setting my sights on homemade sour cream and mozzarella next. If you had told me 4 months ago that I would no longer have a mommy belly and would be making my own dairy products, I would have made a big mess with whatever dairy I was eating at that time. Now, all I want to do is give everyone I know and love a huge portion of HOPE smothered with a ton of good energy.
Where is God in all of this? Glad you asked… He created all things, including you with your 37 amazing trillion cells all working in a beautiful symphony to enable you to see and hear, feel and love, learn and grow, dance and sing… you get the picture. Yes, God does not create mistakes, He creates masterpieces, and our bodies are magnificent masterpieces. The fact that our bodies can create 88 cumulative pounds of ATP (cellular energy) daily is mind boggling! Our bodies are amazing creations, gifted from God above… however, they need to be cared for. Honestly, we care more about our cars than we do our bodies. Would we put water into our gas tank? No. Would we drive around on a flat tire? Nope. Would we keep driving our car as steam comes out of the engine? No way. But… we feed our bodies toxic food. We walk around on empty calories. And… we treat illnesses like they are normal while doctoring them with pills that bring side effects, resulting in more pills. Trust me, there is HOPE… HOPE in God and GOoD energy.
The time to transform your cellular energy is now. I refuse to sugar coat it… the more time you wait, the longer you are gambling with bad energy, chronic illness, and a shorter lifespan. My apologies for sounding the alarm, but your health must be your top priority. You are on the verge of HOPE with good energy on the horizon. Don’t hesitate, don’t wait, get good energy and HOPE today. Your health is just one Casey away. Your 37 trillion cells will thank you with good health, good energy, and good HOPE. Oh… and your loved ones will thank you too!
